AC/DC- I just had to include them even tho this thread dosent really belong to them. I appreciate what they did for music, yet ive never understood why these guys get all the love they recieve. Vocals are horrible, and the guitar has never impressed me. Not really a reason why I hate them but selling their new Cd exclusively at Walmart really bothered me. I had to put this in here just to vent about how much I hate this band.

The guitar isn't necessarily impressive by today's standards, but that's like saying an Rx3 isn't impressive next to an rx8. In its day's it was one of the most impressive racing platforms ever and revolutionized the way racing cars are defined...

Sure The ol' school boy doesn't compare to modern gods like Tom Morello, Dimebag Darrell, or Oslo but in his day he was amazing, he was one of the fist to do what he did.

They might not be "real" as in, religion haters, but they are a great band, especially live.

Favorite bands:

Slipknot: Of their four Albums there's probably only five or six songs I don't really care for. The band has its moments of greatness but recently hasn't gelled as a creative unit and for that reason All Hope Is Gone, might be referring to the band's longevity. A friend of mine interviewed Shawn Crahan before their world tour and his toughts echoed my own, the album wasn't cohesive and was too much in different directions. That said, excellent drummer, guitarists and vocals.

In Flames: Old In Flames>>>>>>>>>>> New In Flames, don't get me wrong Come Clarity isn't a bad album and neither is their latest offering, but Whoracle was a modern freakin' master piece. Seeing them in a month

KillSwitch Engage: Brilliant band

Soilwork: Probably the best band to come out of Sweden, their sound is unique and fits nicely in the genre, Older albums are great for those that love more thrash, newer albums fit more in with the new wave of american metal and more progressive sounds.

Lamb Of God: Probably the best pure Heavy Metal band out there right now, their music doesn't preach ********, the vocals are heavy yet compliment the music and their guitarists and drummers would probably be up in the upper echelon of talent, cohesion and writing right now. They are the push that makes the new wave of american metal move. Wrath comes out in under a month.

If you haven't heard of this band I'd recommend: Laid to Rest, Omerta, Walk With me in Hell

Their last album defined crap. I loved Laid To Rest but Sacrament defined the phrase "deep throat".

Uhh, I don't if I'm the only one but does anyone think that King Crimson is the greatest band ever... hell even Tool admits to ripping off King Crimson. If you haven't ever heard of this band I suggest you give them a listen a.s.a.p they will destroy your mind.

I love King Crimson. In The Court of the Crimson King is probably my favorite prog record ever. Tool isn't the only band that rips them off. Extremely, extremely underrated. They basically invented the sound a lot of people identify as prog rock, even if they weren't the first band to actually play it.

Tool did not "rip off" King Crimson. In fact they share very little in common, other than they both have long songs. Don't take my word for it:

Quote:

I happen to be a Tool fan. The members of Tool have been generous enough to suggest that Crimson has been an influence on them. Adam Jones asked me if I could detect it in their music, and I said I couldn’t. I can detect more Tool influence in King Crimson, than I can hear King Crimson in Tool.

Favorites
My favorite Opeth album is a toss up between Deliverance and Ghost Reveries, however, all of their albums are incredible.Recommended Songs: The Lotus Eater, Bleak, The Baying of the Hounds, Reverie/Harlequin Forest

Between the Buried and Me are one of my favorite bands to listen to due to their technicality. Recommended Songs: Mordecai, Selkies: The Endless Obsession, All Bodies, Sun of Nothing

Isis was a band I started listening to several years ago and they have gradually progressed into being of my favorite. The music is beautifully complex and they keep getting better with every album.Recommended Songs: Wills Dissolve, Wrists of Kings, Not in Rivers but in Drops, Syndic Calls

Agalloch mixes folk tunes, thrash and progressive metal with dark, brooding vocals that mixes together amazingly well.Recommended Songs: As Embers Dress The Sky, A Desolation Song, Not Unlike The Waves

Acid Bath can best be described I guess by calling it swamp metal. They blend so many styles together and were one of the bands that really got me into metal. Recommended Songs: The Blue, God Machine, Toubabo Koomi, Grave Flower

Intronaut is another band I got into around the time of Isis. Very complex, bass-driven progressive metal with a dual-vocal attack. Very groove laden and technical.Recommended Songs: Fragments of Character, They (As In Them), Teledildonics, Any Port

Meshuggah is another great import from Sweden. Some of the finest progressive metal out there and insanely brutal. One of my favorites.Recommended songs: I, Combustion, Dehumanization, Rational Gaze

Mastodon. Can't go wrong with progressive Southern metal, especially when they make a concept album around Moby Dick.Recommended Songs: Seabeast, March of the Fire Ants, Sleeping Giant, This Mortal Coil

Always A Good ListenGlass Casket Brutal speed/grind metal that has two members of BTBAM in its ranks. Recommended Songs: Pencil Lead Syringe, Post Traumatic Death

Every Time I Die Just a fun band to listen to and you can feel the energy and excitement. Not for everyone but a particularly fond band of mine.Recommended Songs: Ebolarama, The New Black, Buffalo Gals, L'Astronaut

Clutch A fun, Southern, bluesy band that puts on a hell of a live show. Recommended Songs: Spacegrass, Mr. Shiny Cadillacness, Texan Book of the Dead, Mice and Gods

Tool What can be said about Tool that hasn't already been said?Recommended Songs: The Pot, Opiate, Flood, Vicarious

Best Buckethead song is Nottingham Lace, in my opinion, with Jordan being the runner up.

Nottingham Lace is a solid song.

My favorite Buckethead song is easily Soothsayer. I absolutely love that song. I could listen to it all day.

I feel like I've heard Jordan too many damn times because of GH2. My roommate always played that song.
